Fri Feb 9 Clear and still but pretty cold.
Frank has not got back yet and Lew went over
to where he expects to work with a load of stuff
this morning and has not got back yet.
I have been sitting by the fire all day and
didnt feel much like doing even that.

Sat Feb 10 It snowed a little
last night and some again to day [today] and is snow-
ing now and pretty cold too. Frank has
not got home yet. Lew worked at cabinet
making some to day but didnt go away
anywhere.

Sun Feb 11 Clear cold and still all
day. This morning it was 10 below zero by the
small instrument and 6 by the other.
Frank has not got home yet. Lew and
Mary went to the Amos place and to town
but the rest of us sort of kept Sunday.
Only Franks Mary has been a good deal
under the weather occasioned by one
of her billious spells.

Mon Feb 12 Cold and clear and still.
Lew went to town this morning to get some
things for housekeeping. Frank got home this
afternoon brought 1 ton of coal. He sold
Beauty for 65 dollars [$65.00] cash. I think Frank
done as well as we could expect in such
times but we all know that in ordinary
times he would have easily brough [brought] twice that.
